Egyptian Fattah is a traditional Egyptian delicious dish made of Rice, Meat (usually lamb meat) , crispy bread & tomato Sauce. It's the main dish in the fist day of our Islamic feast (Eid-al-adha) amoung every Muslim Family. We do this dish the whole year usually using cow meat, but in the Feast we do it using Lamb meat & It's more delicious.

Cut it into small pieces & add some Oil to it & put it in a tray in the Oven & let it roast till crispy (around 20-25 minutes)

**After roasting the breat, moments before serving add 1 cup of stock to it & leave it to absorb it. (only 5 minutes)

4) Preparing the Tomato Sauce:

In skillet over high heat add the Butter & garlic & stir for few second (Don'T burn the garlic) then add the rest of the Tomato Sauce ingredients & reduce the heat & let it simmer till the sauce is reduced (around 10-15 minutes.

Preparing the Fettah:

In a large bowl (or in each plate seperately) :

Put a layer of Bread (after soaking it in Meat Stock ,or some people use it crispy as it is), then a layer of Rice, then a layer or Tomato Sauce.

Keep the Rest of the Tomato Sauce on the Table to add more to your plate while eating.

Serve with fried or Grilled Lamb meat.
